Tyson Fury has mocked Oleksandr Usyk for taking what amounts to more than a 50 per cent cut in pay for his upcoming heavyweight title defence.
Usyk and Fury were deep in talks for a bout on April 29 at Wembley Stadium this year, but that date came and went without the pair meeting. And it now appears they are as far away as ever from making that fight happen, with Usyk gearing up to face Daniel Dubois this August in a mandatory defence of his WBA belt.
Fury is currently talking to a number of potential opponents, with Anthony Joshua and Demsey McKean both named as potential bouts. But none of those fights would have earned either the Brit or the Ukrainian as much money as an undisputed fight, the first at heavyweight in the four belt era, with Fury mocking Usyk for making less than half the money to face Dubois.
